Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This activity involves the retail sale of embroidery products and drawn works, which are decorative textile items created through stitching or drawing techniques. Retailers in this subclass sell these items directly to consumers, providing a variety of embroidered and drawn textile goods.
This classification includes
- drawn works, retail sale
- embroidery, retail sale
Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate
No sector-specific licence applies to this activity. It can be set up as a standard Hong Kong company without extra regulatory approvals. Premises-based or product-based permits can still apply case by case; Emerhub confirms the exact position during scoping.
Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThis activity is inherently tied to Hong Kong as it involves retail sales that typically require a physical presence. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
